Al Ain Wildlife Park and Resort
Well, that is a fancy name for the zoo. And a quite remarkable one, too.
We finally had the kids residency visas go through and they needed to be stamped at the border. So we all headed out for a day in Al Ain to cross the Oman border and then re-enter into the UAE. With that done we headed out to enjoy the rest of the day at the zoo.
The Al Ain Wildlife Park and Resort began as a private collection of exotic animals. It is now a world class exhibit of reptiles, birds, and mammals from all over the world. The kids had fun spotting an Arabian leopard, watching the white lions eat lunch, hanging out with the monkeys and especially seeing Grace be part of the bird show and hold a falcon. Here are some pics of the day -
Enjoy-
Oh yeah - the price is right, too - only 45 AED for the whole family. About 13 US dollars.
Super cool and you guys as usual look BEAUTIFUL! Man, miss you guys and miss like crazy our annual christmas dinners. I'm throwing a big huge party this year. I figure, what the heck, I've got a big house and tons of friends, why not throw them all together and have a little seasonal cheer. NOt that it will be quite right without you!
